1.CXCL12/CXCR4 and breast cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(9):683-686
CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 can express in breast cancer,and are regulated by several factors in the genesis and development of breast cancer. Lots of researches have proved that CXCL12 and CXCR4 can be used as new independent prognostic makers of breast cancer.Treatment targeted for CXCR4 can be seen as a new kind of combination therapy,which may provides patients a more ideal treatment.
2.FURTHER STUDY ON HEPATITIS B VACCINATION STRATEGY
Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 1982;0(04):-
With decision tree model, both net utility and cost-benefit were analysed to comprehensively assess hepatitis B vaccination strategy in China. The result showed that neonates shoulUbe taken as the most favourable vaccinated population, infants aged 0~3 years the next, and immediate vaccination scheme was recommended. Although vaccination would result in negative benefit in the population aged 7 and over, certain net utility was also gained, Therefore we suggest that the subjects to be vaccinated be extended in due course.
3.Extended application of routine ophthalmic technology in dry eye
Chinese Ophthalmic Research 2009;27(11):1050-1053
Dry eye is a most common external eye disease in clinic and it can cause ocular discomfort and visual disturbance. The conventional examinations for dry eye have some shortcomings, for example, high variability and insufficient association with symptoms. Recently, routine ophthalmic technologies play more extending roles in evaluation of dry eye, including corneal topography, wavefront aberrometer, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and confocal microscope. Corneal topography and wavefront aberrometer could be used to evaluate the stability of tear film and visual function. OCT could image tear meniscus directly, and confocal microscope could observe histopathology of ocular surface in vivo. The studies on ophthalmic technologies in dry eye make us deepen the understanding of pathophysiology of dry eye and also provide new diagnostic approaches.

Objective: To explore the effects of desflurane on systemic and hepatic hemodynamics and oxygen delivery to the liver. Method: 11 healthy mongrel dogs were anesthetized with 0.5 and 1.0 MAC desflurane respectively. The changes of systemic, pulmonary and hepatic hemodynamics,systemic oxgen delivery and consumption,oxygen delivery to the liver were measured continuously. Blood flow of hepatic artery and portal vein was monitored with electromagnetic flowmeter. Result: During inhalation of 0.5 MAC desflurane,HR.MAP.SVR,portal vein and total hepatic oxygen delivery decreased significantly(P

Objective The effect of lidocaine and bupivacaine on the Na+ current of dorsal horn neurons was observed to further evaluate the mechanism of local anesthetics . Methods The dorsal horn neurons of the SD neonates(0-7 d) were isolated acutely. Under the condition of holding voltage -80mV , and testing voltage -30mV with duration of 20 ms , the whole-cell patch-clamp technique was applied to recording the changes of voltage-gated Na+ currents following the administration of lidocaine or bupivacaine at 50-1000?mol/L.Results The voltage-gated Na+ currents ranged from 0.5-8nA peak amplitude , was inhibited by lidocaine and bupivacaine at clinical concentrations, the inhibitory degree was parallelly correlated with the concentration of local anesthetics(r=0.949 and 0.847 ,P

Objective To study the effects of desflurane on Ca 2+-ATPase activity isolated rat cardiac myocyte plasma membrane ,for the mechanisms of its inhibitory myocardial function.Methods The effects of different concentration desflurane(0%-11%) on Ca 2+-ATPase activity were studied at different calcium concentration(04-20?mol/L) and at 25℃ or 37℃Results Ca 2+-ATPase activity wan depressed by desflurane,the greater inhibitory effect,the higher desflurane concentration,and more severely at low calcium concentration or at 37℃ than at high calcium concentration or at 25℃Conclusions At clinical concentration desflurane produces tha inhibitory effect on rat cardiac myocyte plasma membrane Ca 2+-ATPase activity dose-dependently,which may in part explain its depression on myocardial function.

[Objective]To probe the probability of autologous platelet-rich glue(PRG) combined with particulate of cancellous bone in treating the aseptic tibial nonunion.[Method]Sixty patients with tibial nonunion in distal 1/3 fragment were randomly divided into 2 groups.Each group had thirty patients.PRG combined with particulate of autogenous cancellous bone was transplanted in the experimental group while particulate of cancellous bone was applied in the control group.The mean time to the operation was 10.5 months(7-36 months) and the average age were 38 years old.The postoperative systemic and local reaction,and X-ray finings of tibial nonunion were observed.The average follow-up was 22 months.According to the Johner-Wruh scoring system the results were statistically analyzed.[Result]At 8 months bony union was all achieved.There was a remarkable difference between those of experimental and control groups.[Conclusion]PRG had an important role in speeding bone healing,and the combination of PRG and particulate of autogenous cancellous bone is an ideal alternative of bone transplantation.

Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture on brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) and nerve growth factor(NGF) expression in the hippocampus of depression rats,and to explore its possible anti-depression mechanism.Methods SD rats were randomized into the normal group,model group,acupuncture group and western medicine group.Rat models of depression were established by chronic unpredictable mild stress and by isolated raising.The western medicine group received gastric gavage of fluoxetine hydrochloride(in the dose of 2 mg?kg-1?d-1),and the acupuncture group received acupuncture on acupoints of Baihui(GV20),Xinshu(BL15) and Ganshu(BL17),once per day for 21 days.After treatment,the expression of BDNF and NGF in the hippocampus of rats was detected by immunohistochemical assay.Results The number of cells with BDNF and NGF positive expression in the hippocampus of model group was decreased(P
10.Identification of a novel transcriptional factor HMGB34367 for activation of ?-smooth muscle actin gene in relation to pulmonary fibrosis
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(06):-
Objective: To demonstrate the influence of HMGB34367,a subfamily member of the high-mobility group protein B1(HMGB1),as a transcriptional factor of the ?-SMA gene expression.Methods: We cloned HMGB34367 cDNA from the fibrotic lung tissue of the Balb/C mouse treated with BLM by RT-PCR,sub-cloned it into a eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA 3.0 or pEGF-N2,and constructed a report plasmid,pDsRed-SMA,encoding red fluorescence(RFP) driven by ?-SMA promoter.Following the co-transfection of pDsRed-SMA and HMGB34367-pcDNA3.0/ pEGF-N2-HMGB34367 in the cultured 16HBE cells,we tested the expression of the RFP in the absence and presence of TGF?1 by fluorescence microscopy.After the transfection of HMGB34367-pcDNA3.0,the nucleus extracts from the transfected cells were subjected to electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA) for the detection of the binding activity of HMGB34367 with ?-SMA promoter CarGB motif.RT-PCR was performed for the evaluation of the ?-SMA gene expression in the cells.Results: The over expression of HMGB34367 activated the ?-SMA promoter and enhances the expression of the ?-SMA gene.An increased binding activity of HMGB34367 with CarGB motif was detected by EMSA in the transfected cells.Conclusion:HMGB34367,a member of HMGB1 family,could act as a transcription factor for the transcriptional activation of the ?-SMA gene,which may play an important role in the development of lung fibrosis.
